RN-to-BSN

[dfrecore]

Depending on her reasons for getting her degree, it may be a better option to get her Bachelor's in something else. She will still get credit for her Associate's.

The RN-to-BSN will be your biggest bang for your buck - you are MUCH better off with a BSN than almost any other degree in this instance.  And considering that there are MANY inexpensive options, there's no reason to not do this degree.

I only based that on talking to my mom, who is a nurse. Pretty much every RN she knows is trying to get out of nursing and wishing they had a degree in anything else.

The OP's friend is currently a nurse and asking about a BSN.  So they don't want to get out of nursing.

Correct. They do not want to get out of nursing, otherwise they'd I'd already have them on another plan.

When I found a couple programs, they weren't interested and asked "What's the tuition at U. Florida?" "Why U. Florida?" "Well I don't want to graduate from a school I have zero emotional connection to. If I'm going to go through the trouble, I'm doing it at a school I WANT to go to."
Fair enough. It's their life. Fortunately, the online in-state tuition there is really reasonable, and through family that live there, it's probably not hard for them to qualify for in-state tuition in 12 months.
